MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT

JEONGHA DISTRICT COURT PUBLIC DEFENDER

EPISODE 8

What happened?

Mr. Do, did that ex-convict really hit you?

No, it's a bug bite.

You got me.

BASED ON THE ESSAY MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT BY JUNG HYEJIN

Hmm. I had to go on a trial and go undercover today

so I had no time for lunch.

With all the interviews and reports,

I'm seriously busy today, so don't start with me.

I didn't know you had two jobs.

A lawyer and a spy?

Stop joking and get me some food. I told you I didn't even have lunch.

What's so important that you had to skip a meal?

Should I get you some instant noodles?

Mr. Jwa!

I said no instant noodles in the office.

She's starving, okay? A person is starving.

And what about you? What did you eat in the office, Mr. Do?

DEFAMED HIS REPUTATION

The one who threatened the police chief.

It was Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

It wasn't you.

You didn't kill them.

So why...

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

These are both samples of prime suspects.

-Please handle them with extra care. -Okay.

I'll compare them with the DNA found at Yoon Seokgu's murder scene.

I'll call you when I get the results.

DETECTIVE JUNG JAEGEUN

Hello?

They got the police chief.

What? What do you mean they got him?

Where's the chief?

The ambulance took him to the hospital.

I guess it wasn't his time to go yet. His neighbor found him and gave him CPR.

They thought he had stopped breathing, so they called the cops and waited.

But he was still alive.

He's unconscious, but he's still alive.

Let me take a look at the scene first.

Let's go.

DO NOT ENTER, POLICE LINE UNDER INVESTIGATION

FORENSIC SERVICES POLICE

There's no need to look. I'm sure Jwa Sibaek's the culprit.

What he did to the chief the other day was a warning.

He killed Cho Hyunsik after threatening him.

He killed Yoon Seokgu after threatening his son.

And he tried to kill the chief after threatening him.

He's a psycho who broadcasts his murders beforehand.

Where was Mr. Jwa yesterday?

Why are you asking me?

Didn't you put a tail on him following the chief's orders?

Right. I did.

Hey.

Where was Jwa Sibaek last night?

What?

Are you sure?

I got it.

Where was he?

Apparently, he was at home.

But who knows? He could've left the lights on and gone out the back door.

If he knew that the police were on his tail,

he would also know that it'd give him an alibi.

He could've used that to his advantage.

Come on, I'm sure it's him.

I mean, there's no way it's not him...

I submitted Jwa Sibaek and Jang Gido's DNA samples

to the National Forensic Service.

What?

Wait, when did you get that?

I'm having them compared to the DNA found at the scene of Yoon Seokgu's murder.

We can accuse Mr. Jwa of the murders after we get the test results back.

Man.

There's no sign of intrusion this time either?

No. So far, we haven't found any.

Cho Hyunsik, Yoon Seokgu, Park Kangil, Jeon Jaeho.

They all opened the door themselves which means they knew the person.

They all knew Jwa Sibaek, didn't they?

Besides Mr. Jwa...

there's another person they were much closer to. Isn't there?

At first, she asked me to search for a case from eight years ago, so I did.

Then a few days ago, she asked me to send her the file, and I refused.

But it seems like she came to the office yesterday and took the file.

JANGSAN LAW FIRM CEO JANG GIDO

She took Chief Jeon Jaeho's case file?

Chakhee did?

I believe so.

Send her the address of the campaign headquarters.

Tell her to stop by this afternoon.

Yes, sir.

Gido.

I found it.

A substitute.

RESUME NAME: JWA SIBAEK

Jwa Sibaek.

He's a public defender working in the same office as Noh Chakhee.

He's got a great reputation.

He was named public defender of the year for three years straight.

He excelled on the bar exam and at the training institute.

The defendants that he represented all gave him great reviews.

He's a well-respected public defender in Jeongha.

If someone like him is on our side for your campaign,

it'll work very well along with your retrial case.

They have the same eyes.

He and Heesoo.

What?

His family background?

They moved to the US when he was eight.

He has no siblings,

and his father died a few years after they emigrated.

He came back to Korea by himself when he was around 20.

Around?

There's no record of his teenage years.

His Korean university records

and his career as an attorney after the bar were all I could find.

But I'm sure that won't be a problem.

He moved to another country 20 years ago.

Of course, he wouldn't have proper records.

And he got his early education there too.

Yes, what is it?

The police chief has been attacked.

Where?

At his farmhouse.

- Is he dead? - No, sir.

He's in a coma, but he's still alive.

Okay.

He's quite determined to live, unlike the others.

The one who threatened the police chief.

It was Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

About Chief Jeon Jaeho's case.

I'm going to request a retrial.

It's from eight years ago. Hasn't the statute of limitations expired?

Ms. Choi Yoonjung filed an appeal before, so we still have about three months.

You'll need enough evidence for the request to be accepted.

It won't be easy.

I know.

But now that I know, I can't just ignore it.

If people at Jangsan find out...

Chief Jeon is not like other clients.

They're concerned with owners of corporations,

not some police chief.

They won't lose anything even if I request a retrial for his case.

What about CEO Jang?

Do you think he'll approve?

What do you think, Mr. Jwa?

About me requesting a retrial.

What are your thoughts about it?

Well...

The passing of time doesn't erase a person's crime.

Even if the person in question dies.

You've reached your destination. Ending the navigation.

Are we at the right place?

HIT REFRESH WITH JANG GIDO

Thanks for the ride. I'll see you back at the office.

Sure.

NEW POLITICS PARTY HIT REFRESH WITH JANG GIDO

GIDO FOR JEONGHA JEONGHA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE 1

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'm here to see CEO Jang.

You mean Candidate Jang?

He's upstairs.

Ah...

Chakhee.

Oh!

GIDO FOR JEONGHA

What's the matter?

Does it feel weird?

You'll get used to it soon. Assemblyman Jang Gido.

Don't worry.

There won't be any issues with you returning to Jangsan

even if I'm not there.

No, that's not what I was thinking.

Chakhee.

The election is about to start, and I'm counting on you.

I need your help.

Of course.

I'll help you in any way I can.

Speaking of which,

I heard you took Chief Jeon Jaeho's case file.

Yes.

Why?

There was something I needed to check regarding the lawsuit.

What lawsuit?

Don't do it.

Whatever it is.

Chief Jeon is in the hospital. He's in a coma.

Someone attacked him last night.

He was attacked?

Last night?

Chakhee.

That case is from eight years ago.

If you start poking around after all this time,

you'll only hurt you and your client.

I'm sure you know

that people will forgive you for anything once you're dead.

I'm saying this for your sake.

You don't belong here. You belong in Jangsan.

Bide your time, then return to Jangsan.

Don't try to become someone that isn't you.

I heard you met with Yiyeon.

Yes.

I was going to tell you.

I want you to keep an eye on her and fill me in on what she's up to.

Make sure she stays out of trouble until the election is over.

I will.

And about Jwa Sibaek.

-I'm sorry? -You work in the same office, right?

How is it?

Detective Jung told me he had some trouble with CEO Cho.

What do you think of him?

I don't know.

I'm not sure how to answer that question.

It seems like he's a well-respected public defender.

That's why I'd like to have him help me with my campaign.

With your campaign?

Do you think he'll take my offer?

No.

As far as I know, he's not interested in politics...

Is that so?

I guess we'll have to see.

REQUEST FOR RETRIAL RETRIAL APPLICANT: CHOI YOONJUNG

REASONS FOR REQUESTING RETRIAL HOWEVER, THE JUDGMENT ABOVE

That case is from eight years ago.

If you start poking around

after all this time, you'll only hurt you and your client.

Mr. Jwa.

Chief Jeon Jaeho is in the hospital. He's in a coma.

Really?

What happened?

Someone attacked him.

I see.

I'm really angry at that person who did that to him.

I thought Chief Jeon deserved to be punished.

You're right. He has to be punished.

Properly.

Instead of dying before he pays for what he did.

- This is Noh Chakhee... - You tramp.

You killed Cho Hyunsik, didn't you? Turn yourself in.

Do you realize that you're a disgrace to all other women?

What the hell?

Are you here to see me?

I'm here to see Yiyeon.

Where is she?

Oh, she's in the dispensary.

Noh Chakhee. What are you doing here?

Hey.

Thank you.

I'm learning how to knead dough, thanks to you.

-No more stealing dough for me. -Good for you.

Come visit. I'll bake a lot of your favorite pastries.

Do you even know what my favorites are?

That girl is such a brat.

Hey, watch it. Don't you call her a brat.

Well, it's true.

I mean, she shouldn't treat her dad that way.

She's done nothing wrong. It's all my fault.

She has every right to treat me this way.

Yonggeun. How many times are you going to do this?

Keep it up, and you'll tear your lungs into shreds!

Go to a shelter, okay?

It gets really cold at night now.

I told you. Antibiotics are not a cure.

Jeez, okay. All right.

I'm telling you. This is the last time. I won't care if you die out on the street.

Come on.

Did my dad send you? To watch me?

No.

I'm here to get an apology.

It's all because of you.

If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't be like this today.

It's all your fault!

Ah, that?

I apologize.

Satisfied?

Why is it my fault?

What did I ever do to you?

I already apologized.

I don't want to talk about it.

I'll pay the fine, so go.

No, not until you talk to me. Why do you live like this?

Why did you drop out? You were doing fine.

Whether I was doing well at school

or wishing that I was dead every single day.

How would you know?

I don't. I don't know.

You can't keep blaming me for something I don't know about.

So tell me.

Then I'll decide whether to understand or forgive you.

I told you.

I have nothing to say to you.

You know how much my grandmother adored you.

But you didn't even come to her funeral.

After she died, you acted like she never even existed.

How could you do that?

"How could I do that?" That's a question you should ask someone else.

The person that you love so dearly.

Gosh. How can I help you?

Excuse me, sir.

Attorney Jwa Sibaek?

Here you go.

What a cozy little office.

Is that Ms. Noh's desk?

What's this regarding?

A policy adviser?

CEO Jang Gido of Jangsan is running for the National Assembly in Jeongha.

He'd like to meet you.

There's no doubt that he'll become Jeongha's assemblyman.

And once he does,

he will give you active support for your pro bono work.

Please join his election campaign.

You can have any position you want.

My defendant will be here soon.

NEW POLITICS PARTY OH DAEHYEON

I'm sorry.

Mr. Do.

I understand.

Third time's the charm.

I'll see you again.

I don't think it's going to be easy.

No? He wouldn't be appealing if he agreed easily.

I'm going to visit a children's home with my father soon.

Try and arrange a meeting with Jwa Sibaek there.

Yes, sir.

And the person who tipped off Park about the illegal funds...

was Haran.

I don't know how she got it, but she even gave him the transaction records.

That's so like her.

I take my eyes off her for one second, and she comes at me to bite off my finger.

I want you to keep an eye on her. Find her weakness or whatever else.

Keep her on a tight leash until the election is over.

If that doesn't work,

sleep with her for all I care.

God.

Sometimes, I can't tell whether you're joking or not.

And about Yiyeon's assault, there was another informant.

Find out who it is.

Yes, sir.

"How could I do that?" That's a question you should ask someone else.

The person that you love so dearly.

Welcome to our real-time livestream!

The murderer disguised as a lawyer.

Ladies and gentlemen. I've finally caught Noh Chakhee.

-Who are you? -Why did you kill Cho Hyunsik?

Cho Hyunsik. Why did you kill him?

I know you killed him.

Not so fast. We have a lot to talk about.

You slept with Hyunsik, didn't you?

You went to a hotel with him that night too and killed him, right?

Talk to the camera.

Get her face.

- What the hell? - Keep filming.

If you have anything to say, call that number.

Yes, sir.

- Get out of here. - Let's go!

You're not okay.

The man who spread false rumors about you last time has been caught.

I reported his channel, and it's been taken down,

but I guess you were doxxed by another channel.

Because Jangsan's legal team has new articles deleted right away.

No. If it's about last night, please don't say anything.

Yoon Dochang has paid 300 million won to his victims.

Really?

Yes. I just heard the news from Junwoo's mother and Ms. Kim, the caddie.

I guess he was afraid of going to prison even after what he did. That bastard.

Now, shall we begin?

Shall we?

Is this the police?

Yes, I want to report someone who lured and kidnapped a minor.

Nice shot! What did I tell you, Moron?

But seriously, man.

I'm talking about the unpleasant rumors about you and Mr. Cho.

I'm sorry.

I informed the firm's legal team.

Just know that they're taking care of it.

Okay.

I'm going to visit a children's home with my father this weekend.

I'd like to meet Jwa Sibaek there.

I see. All right.

Ow!

Who the hell are you?

Where am I?

What the hell were you doing to me?

Sir.

Please come to your senses.

I asked, who the hell are you?

It's me.

I'm your friend.

If I hadn't been there for you, you would've frozen to death on the street

or starved to death.

Think carefully about what I have done for you.

Drink up.

You're in agony, right?

You don't know why,

but you're uncontrollably angry, right?

But...

I'm not the one you should be angry at.

I'm sorry, sir.

I did it again.

It's okay.

Do what you want.

What...

"What I want"?

Lee Dongpil.

Lee Dongpil did this to you. You have to find him and get your revenge.

I'll help you.

Are you sure you want to come? I can pick up the kids' stuff by myself.

I told you. I do feel bad about the director's death,

but I didn't like him enough to cry about it.

I'm going to take the kids to see Ms. Lee Soonyoung next week.

You should come with us.

No thanks.

I'll see Soonyoung after I win my case and she gets released.

Ms. Lee talks a lot about you.

That girl.

I've told her repeatedly that she should pretend like she doesn't know me.

You should come.

Didn't you see those gossip videos?

What do you think they'll say if I go with you?

"Why did Lee Soonyoung's lawyer visit her after encouraging her to commit suicide?"

Good lord.

If that kind of fake news starts spreading,

it won't be good for my case.

I don't want any more ridiculous headlines until I win.

Ms. Noh, do you know that you're a very funny person?

So are you.

No, I'm not.

You are too.

HAESONG CHILDREN'S HOME

It looks like they're filming something today.

You're here.

You haven't been here in a while, have you?

- Right. - Yes.

By the way, who is this handsome young man?

Ah, I work with him in the same office.

Oh...

Wow!

What a nice car.

Who are you?

Here.

But who are you?

Me?

I'm your dad's friend.

Mr. Kim.

I'm Jwa Sibaek.

You are?

Please look after my dear Chakhee.

She hasn't been a public defender for that long.

I'm sure she still has a lot to learn, and she probably makes mistakes.

But please, don't be too hard on her.

Sure. I'll do that.

Now, shall we go inside and see Gido?

-Shall we? -Yes.

Let's head inside.

In a minute. I just...

I'll see you later, then.

Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.

Did you know?

What?

The fact that Jang Byungchun and Jang Gido were coming.

Did you know?

Yes.

How long do you plan on playing Jangsan's lapdog?

Attorney Jwa Sibaek.

I'm glad you're here.

I should thank Chakhee.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Jang Gido.

Right.

I'd like to talk to you about something if that's okay.

All right.

Pass me the ball next time.

I can imagine what you must think about me and Jangsan.

Among the lawsuits that the firm has handled,

if you look at the ones that were promoted on the news,

it looks like we're extremely in favor of corporations

and we'll do whatever we can for money.

Isn't that true?

I'm not going to deny it.

But now that I'm running for the National Assembly,

that's going to change.

Jangsan will have an ESG sector,

and we will pursue public interests much more than we currently do.

Because that will help you win the election?

That's right.

If you join me by my side, Mr. Jwa,

I'll give you as much support as you need in your pro bono work.

All you need to do is use me.

Why me?

You remind me of myself when I was younger.

Before I became a senior partner at Jangsan.

I was a much more idealistic and innocent lawyer.

You're telling me there was a time when you were like that?

Yes.

There was.

I want your hands off the Kangsung Pharm case

and the files about the pills' side effects.

If you do that, I'll think about it.

I can do that.

Is there anything else you want?

How about a free legal aid center with about five billion won?

Okay.

If I win the election...

I will.

I crossed the line before.

I didn't have to say it like that.

I'm sorry.

No, it's my fault. I should've told you.

I'm sorry.

Chakhee.

The pastries are ready.

Shall we go have a taste?

Why don't you join us, Mr. Jwa?

No. He...

I will.

Here.

You know Dukman, right?

He's learning how to bake. So he visits here every weekend

to make bread for the children.

You've become a human being.

What, was I an alien before?

It's a compliment.

Well, it certainly didn't seem like one.

Here, try this.

Thank you.

That watch.

It's a valuable watch.

Grandpa. You're actually wearing the same watch.

What does your father do?

He was a shoe factory manager.

Really?

There must be a patriot in your family.

That watch is for patriots?

Yes. It's given to patriots by the state in recognition of their contribution.

Listen, Mr. Jwa.

Do you know how to play Go?

Yes, I know the rules.

In that case, you should come to my house sometime.

I'll treat you to a nice meal.

Play a game of Go with this old man.

Of course, it would be my pleasure.

I make enough to feed myself.

It was closed when I came by the other day.

Was it?

What's going on? Why did you close it? You don't want to make money?

I sometimes go to the doctor's office or the bank.

Maybe that's why.

Jang Gido of Jangsan.

He's running for the National Assembly.

Is he?

He asked me...

to help him with his campaign.

I'm going to do it.

And I'm also going to be seeing Chairman Jang Byungchun.

So...

you should just focus on the restaurant.

It's good.

NEW POLITICS PARTY CANDIDATE 1 JANG GIDO

Here. Look at this.

Look at him pretending to be all nice. I just got chills.

Oh, Mr. Jwa. I was totally wrong about you.

Mr. Jwa! I was totally wrong about you!

You turned out to be full of ambition.

I have to say, I'm disappointed!

What is this?

Why are you two ganging up on me so early in the morning?

The election campaign. You're doing it?

-That? -You're actually doing it?

Well, yeah. The terms were pretty good.

Look, Mr. Do! This is how the world works.

Wow! You can't judge a cover by its book.

- Isn't it the other way around? - Right.

-Yes. -Anyway.

Weren't you the public's kind and righteous legal helper?

See? He's blinded by power.

A cross-legged ambitious geezer.

Are you doing it to get yourself a position in his party?

I just showed my support when he announced his campaign

and did interviews.

If I got a position there, who would pay the rent and keep you in shape, Mr. Do?

My God, Mr. Do. Don't let him fool you.

He might say that and stab us in the back later.

For Christ's sake.

Jwa Sibaek, you bastard.

You're under arrest on suspicion of Yoon Seokgu's murder.

I don't care if you hire an attorney.

You'd better not remain silent because I'm going to eat you alive.

- Take him. - Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

I told you that he was with me that night.

How could he have killed Yoon Seokgu if he was with me?

Ms. Noh Chakhee, you'll be summoned for questioning soon.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT POLICE STATION

Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

Why do you think you're here?

I'm not sure.

At the hospital, you said you needed me as a testifier.

And today, you arrested me as a prime suspect in a murder case.

Did you find evidence that I'm the murderer in the meantime?

Yes. Let's see. Where should we begin?

This footage is from one month before Cho Hyunsik was murdered.

This car that's following Cho's car for over 30 minutes.

It's your car, right?

-Were you tailing Cho Hyunsik? -Yes.

To win the trial.

You know as well as I do

that he had his fair share of skeletons in his closet.

I knew that following him was illegal,

but I did it to stop him from selling EveSense.

Those pills have serious side effects.

So you're saying you followed Kangsung Pharmaceuticals' CEO

-because of your lawsuit against them? -Yes.

You almost assaulted Cho Hyunsik two days before he was murdered.

No, I wasn't trying to assault him. I was trying to rescue someone.

When I was leaving work,

I saw Ms. Noh Chakhee get into Cho Hyunsik's car.

I had seen him hit her before, so I was watching them closely.

And while I was following them,

Ms. Noh seemed to be in danger just as I expected, so I stopped his car.

I pulled Cho Hyunsik out, but I didn't assault him.

So it was a coincidence?

Yes.

What's your relationship with Yoon Dochang?

He was the opposing plaintiff for a case that I handled.

And you offered to take the case first, didn't you?

Did you know that Yoon Dochang was the son of the murdered Yoon Seokgu?

I did offer to take the case,

but I didn't know that his father was Yoon Seokgu.

Then why did you make the offer?

I get hearing-impaired people in my office from time to time.

I joined a club to learn sign language, and that's where I met Mr. Park Junwoo.

When he told me about his mother's situation, I felt bad.

Yes.

So I offered to take her case for free. Because that's my job.

Why did you assault Yoon Dochang?

Because he deserved it.

-Sorry? -Yoon Dochang

used the lawsuit as an excuse

to lure and kidnap Junwoo who is a minor.

I saw it with my own eyes and tried to get him out in a hurry, and...

Sure.

I ended up throwing a few punches.

If it was for a reason like that,

-shouldn't you have reported him? -Yes, I did.

So this was a coincidence too.

The plaintiff of the case that you coincidentally offered to take

just happened to be the son of the murder victim.

Yes.

Right.

Okay.

Let's see how long this "coincidence" would last.

Gido.

About Jwa Sibaek.

Yes, we're getting very good responses.

He's been arrested on suspicion of Yoon Seokgu's murder.

How did that happen?

His DNA was found at the murder scene.

That must've been Yoo Kyungjin's work.

Find out which prosecutor is on the case.

Okay.

SERVING YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS! PROVIDING YOU WITH THE SAFEST SECURITY!

RELIABLE POLICE OF THE CITIZENS

Where's Detective Yoo?

What do you need her for? It's all over.

Jwa Sibaek is the undeniable culprit.

He was with me, the night when Yoon Seokgu was murdered.

You've just arrested someone with an alibi!

Attorney Noh.

Jwa's DNA was found at the scene of Yoon Seokgu's murder.

I'm 100% sure we'll get a warrant.

So you can visit him in prison.

Uh...

These are my credit card statements from the day before Yoon's murder.

At 00:34, pork rind restaurant.

At 1:48, karaoke bar.

At 2:23, taxi.

When we got home, we went to Mr. Jwa's place.

We had a few more drinks, and I fell asleep around 3:30.

Then I woke up around 6:50.

Mr. Jwa was definitely with me in his apartment at 7:00.

We had breakfast, and I went back to my place around 8:10.

It's three hours to go to Yoon's resort and return to Mr. Jwa's apartment.

And that's if you drive as fast as possible.

You think he murdered Yoon and came back within 20 minutes?

That's physically impossible.

Yes, all right.

Until 2:23 here on these records, I'll believe that you were with him.

But how can I believe that you were with him afterward?

Ms. Noh, you've already lied to me once.

And those times that you remember. Don't you think they're too exact?

I'm a lawyer.

When I was at Jangsan, I divided my time by six minutes.

It's my habit to check the time.

If you don't believe me, why don't we bring in a lie detector?

I'd have no problem with that.

Mr. Jwa Sibaek's DNA was found at the scene of Yoon Seokgu's murder.

Perhaps...

the one who killed CEO Cho Hyunsik and tried to kill Chief Jeon Jaeho

was also Mr. Jwa.

Before the victims were murdered,

they all had some kind of trouble with Mr. Jwa.

Who knows? Maybe that's his pattern of murder.

I thought you were different, Detective Yoo.

But maybe you should write novels instead, just like Detective Jung.

Does DNA take priority over alibis?

If you're planning on omitting my alibi to get a warrant,

you'd better prepare yourself.

God, I really don't understand.

Why are you doing all this?

SOUTHERN DISTRICT POLICE STATION

Sir, I have something to talk to you about.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT POLICE STATION

Damn it.

On the 2nd day of the month, from 17:35 to 18:10,

you followed Police Chief Jeon Jaeho's car and threatened him, right?

Who? Police Chief Jeon Jaeho?

You followed him down the road to Ganghwa and threatened him.

It was all recorded on his dashcam.

That was Chief Jeon?

You're saying you didn't know?

Correct.

Then why did you follow his car and threaten him?

I was prepared for a fine or penalty points for menacing driving.

-So you did it knowing you'd get caught? -Yes.

-Why? -That imported car.

Chief Jeon Jaeho's car was threatening a small car with a baby on board.

Both the driver and the baby seemed very startled.

I got angry and followed him to yell at him.

To warn him not to not drive like that.

You're unbelievable, aren't you?

Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

So you're saying that was a coincidence too?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

I threatened him just as much as he threatened that small car,

glared at him, and went on my way.

If you checked his dashcam footage, you'd know.

We found packaging tape at the scene of Yoon Seokgu's murder.

And on it we found three different DNAs.

One was Yoon Seokgu's.

One was yours.

And the other one has yet to be identified.

Now, why did you kill Yoon Seokgu?

I didn't kill him.

I was probably at home with Ms. Noh Chakhee at that time.

If so, how can you explain your DNA that was found at the murder scene?

Isn't it your job to figure that out?

I'm sure there were countless DNA samples at the scene, not just mine.

But only mine was singled out. Why?

Because you illegally collected my DNA sample without a warrant.

Do you think my DNA being found at the scene

proves that I killed Yoon Seokgu?

Why would I do that?

Detective Yoo. Why would I kill Yoon Seokgu?

Is there a motive for this murder?

I don't have a motive, but I do have an alibi.

You found my DNA among numerous others at the murder scene.

Are you accusing me of murdering Yoon Seokgu based on that?

Does DNA take priority over alibis, Detective Yoo?

You bastard. You think you're so smart.

Your DNA was found at the scene.

-That means it's over. -Get in here!

-Sir! -Come on.

-Please stop. -Don't do this.

Back off!

We'll get a warrant for sure.

You attacked the chief, didn't you? Spit it out, you bastard!

-Get him out of here. -Sir!

The request for a warrant...

...was rejected.

Damn it. Why?

I'm not sure.

God damn it!

Seriously?

Damn it!

RELIABLE POLICE OF THE CITIZENS

Let's go.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT POLICE STATION

Let's go.

I'm only going to ask you this one time.

Cho Hyunsik, Yoon Seokgu, Park Kangil.

Did you kill them all?

Yes.
